Digital Dialogue

Digital Dialogue

If voice were...
a color
an animal
a season
a type of food
a favorite piece of clothing
a facial expression
what would it be?

An example:
"If voice were a favorite piece of clothing, it would be my smelly old sneakers because they have gone through the mud, rain, and endless hours of running on the playground. They are worn and dirty and just feel like 'me' whenever I put them on."

20 inches of snow...Happy Spring!

Wow, what a long weekend! If someone would have told me that we'd get so much snow this late in March, I would never believe them! But it happened, so tell me about your weekend. Did the snow ruin any of your plans, or were you just completely jubilant to get 2 1/2 more snow days this school year? What did you do to celebrate? (And how do you feel about school in June?)
